5. Quit giving that slop house free publicity

6. What did not appear

was even a trace of concern for the wellbeing of his employees. In my experience, people do not choose between Applebees, Chillis, TGIFridays, and other eateries of this sort based on nickles and dimes on the price of the food. They go where they like the food and the service. If they want to save money, they cook at home. Every restaurant of this sort is dealing with the same financial issue, so the tab goes up a buck or two pretty much everywhere at the same time and it really makes no difference, except the employees now have healthcare.

9. All their competitors play under the same healthcare rules. nt

10. agreed

It is both sad and interesting that cutting employees adrift is simply discussed as collateral damage of a business model, with no moral dimension or weight what so ever. The American people are simply a dispensable commodity to these folks.

11. Unless you are a fetus, you are disposable - Republican philosophy n/t

17. They are an externality

Any cost to the individual employee in terms of health and illness is entirely external to their business practice. The employees complete inability to afford healthcare does not concern these bastards one iota.

It is repugnant.

Honestly, if you are unwilling to pay your workers a decent wage and provide some kind of health insurance than you can bus your own damned dishes. It is immoral to employ people at less than a living wage and it is immoral to expect employees and their children to suffer the deprivation of healthcare for your profit margin.

12. the food sucks so ......

13. He is a greedy fool who has not thought this through

I for one will not go to a restaurant where I know that the majority of employees do not get decent health care. How many people are going to feel comfortable eating and feeding their children entrees prepared and served by people who cannot afford luxuries like flu shots and TB tests?

19. What a fucking asshole.

20. Let's stick to our guns...

we started boycotting Limbaugh's advertisers but we soon forgot about it...if we would have stuck to our guns we may have gotten him off the air...Boycott Papa John's and Applebee's...If these billionaire's can't pay a little more (say 10 cents a pizza) we need to stand our ground and simply protest...strength in numbers
